Let $r$ be a positive real number and $p$ satisfy $(2/p)\in\mathbb{N}$. Then, we consider the lattice point problem of the closed curves astroid-type $p$-circle $\{x\in\mathbb{R}^{2}|\ |x_{1}|^{p}+|x_{2}|^{p}=r^{p}\}$ which generalize the…

Let $\xi_0,\xi_1,...$ be independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables such that $\E \log (1+|\xi_0|)<\infty$. We consider random analytic functions of the form $$ G_n(z)=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \xi_k f_{k,n} z^k, $$ where…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ denote the class of analytic functions $f$ such that $f(0)=0$ and $f'(0)=1$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}:=\{z \in \mathbb{C}: |z|<1\}.$ We examine the properties of the class $\mathcal{C}(\varphi)$ defined as…

In [8] probabilistic methods, in particular a variant of the Weak Law of Large Numbers related to the Bernoulli distribution, have been used to show that for every infinite compact spaces K and L there exists a sequence $(\mu_n)$ of…

The class of generating functions for completely monotone sequences (moments of finite positive measures on $[0,1]$) has an elegant characterization as the class of Pick functions analytic and positive on $(-\infty,1)$. We establish this…

In the framework of Sobolev (Bessel potential) spaces $H^n(\reali^d, \reali {or} \complessi)$, we consider the nonlinear Nemytskij operator sending a function $x \in \reali^d \mapsto f(x)$ into a composite function $x \in \reali^d \mapsto…

Let $K$ be a bounded convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^2$ symmetric about the origin. The critical locus of $K$ is defined to be the (non-empty compact) set of lattices $\Lambda$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$ of smallest possible covolume such that $\Lambda…

A recent conjecture by C. Carlet on the sum-freedom of the binary multiplicative inverse function can be stated as follows: For each pair of positive integers $(n,k)$ with $3\le k\le n-3$, there is a $k$-dimensional $\Bbb F_2$-subspace $E$…

The BKR inequality conjectured by van den Berg and Kesten in [11], and proved by Reimer in [8], states that for $A$ and $B$ events on $S$, a finite product of finite sets $S_i,i=1,\ldots,n$, and $P$ any product measure on $S$, $$ P(A \Box…
